I've always wanted to see one of those from a different angle. Like, does it look weird backwards?
Sawdust 4 years ago
Yes, I believe from any other angle (other than the one the photo is taken from) it looks strange.

There was even a children's book based on this optical illusion where two people keep arguing over what they see.

Lion Or Zebras?
Final score:

glowworm2 4 years ago
Look at the zebra in the front's ears. Those are the lion's eyes. Then look at the Zebra's nose--that's the lion's nose. The stripe in the middle of the zebra and the one next to it are the lion's mouth.

🤯🤯🤯 How do they do this?! I've seen it many times and I don't understand. In many optical illusions you can use a ruler to compare two things that look different in size but are actually the same. In this one it clearly doesn't work and I don't understand why.
Sanne H. 4 years ago
It’s just a room taken totally out of perspective (you have plenty of those “museums of illusions” where you can make similar pictures). Compare it to pictures people take next to the tower of Pisa or the Eiffel tower.
